Best Wishes And Happiest Birthday To All Junnies In 2010

So Proud Of You Both, Well Done And A Great Job!!

Dear all,

Hospitality in Kenya amazing. On plane tomorrow heading for Holland. :)))

Brought more donations to another school and also to an orphanage. These kids are amazing! Went on safari on weekend, saw lionesses with their cubs after a kill, too cool. Also saw the start of the wildebeast migration! Pictures will be posted when we're back in Canada, can't wait to show you!! :-))

We've been assigned to the Nairobi Language school. Yesterday we taught Grades 5, 7, 8- each of us in a different class. Kids are so smart and well behaved! Today, we went out and got this school a bunch of books, photocopier (they didn't have one!), CD/tape player (which they also didn't have), and soccer and volle...

We've arrived safely! Luggage intact. Seeing a bit of Nairobi today, then starting on the project tomorrow.

ok, this is it, we're leaving today! pray for us, that we keep healthy and safe!!

Saturday is fast approaching! Nairobi, here we come!!

Thx to everyone who came out to our party last night! It was great to catch up w everyone before we leave!

Am feeling so grateful right now!! :)

Another year has gone by! Please join us as we celebrate our birthdays. We will also be leaving for Nairobi the weekend after, so we would love to see our friends before we head out for two weeks at the orphanage!!
There will be lots of food and drinks, great music and even better company!!
Kids welcome.
No birthday gifts please. Instead, please consider making a donation to our Kenyan Fundraising efforts at the party or on-line using paypal at http://www.melissajohari.com/Fundraising/Make_a_donation.html

Thank-you, see you there!!

Di Pintu Usia

PULANG DARI KERJA
DIHEMPASKAN BADANNYA YANG KELETIHAN
DI SUDUT TEMBOK YANG ANGKUH
DALAM KAMAR SEPI ITU
SAMBIL TERPEKUR MENGHITUNG WAKTU
TAHULAH IA
HIDUP INI ADALAH SEBUAH HARAPAN
YANG TERBARING


NAFAS YANG GERAH
ADALAH SERIBU CERITA YANG
MENGGARIS DI WAJAH YG KIAN TUA
ADALAH SERIBU PENGALAMAN YANG
MENGENDAP DI JIWA KOSONG
DARI KEHIDUPAN YANG TERBIASA


SISA USIA SEMAKIN BERKURANG
CITA-CITA SELALU TERBENTUR PADA KENYATAAN
SEDANG DIRI MASIH TERASA REMAJA USIA
WARNA BULAN DAN WARNA LANGIT
DI KEJAUHAN


SAMBIL TERPEKUR MENGHITUNG WAKTU
DALAM KAMAR,SEPI ITU
TAHULAH AKU,
MANUSIA ADALAH SEBUTIR PASIR
DI PANTAI YANG LUAS
DI DUNIA YANG TUA.
